Being white.
Pwning trolls that can dish it out but can't take it then resorting to hiding their posts.
Oh and never being stupid enough to put myself in debt.
Completely off topic and irrelevant. Now who's the troll?Originally Posted by ezio69
I have a serious response to this thread. I got another promotion at work. That's the second promotion in less than two months. I am now shift leader in training at my job. Also, I managed to snag a job for my brother. He got screwed over at his previous job and ended up getting fired, and was going to lose his apartment if he couldn't pay rent, so I pulled a few strings and managed to convince my boss to hire him. So that's two good things.
Also, I helped my girlfriend study for her veterinary test, and she got 140/140.
Free Wifi and food!
Loaf is so baked.
Getting off work today made me pretty damn happy.
My sister n her 19th birthday! Got her Justin Timberlake tickets for her and a friend ^^
Listening to my musicFalling in love with my favorite songs and bands again is a great feeling, especially when listening with pretty decent headphones.
I also got my promotion finalised! About a year in the making, but hard work paid off! Double congratulations? =D
Also, a customer of mine the other day started laughing when my manager walked by me and into the back room. I looked at him like "wat he do?", and he said "Haha, your manager looks like Petyr Balish!" I just stared at him for a moment thinking "I know that name!" And then realisation hit me, and it's true. He does look like Littlefinger from Game of Thrones! So me and this guy are crying over my till. When I told my manager, he didn't know who we were talking about. So I Googled him, and caused hilarity in our stock room.
The small things!

Happiness for me is finishing work on a friday afternoon. Hard to replicate that feeling.
Best Friends and when guys pick u up n carry u hehe x
The weekend!
More followers on my insta (almost 84,000) means more clientele and that I'll finally get to play FFXV, even if it is a demo.
More happiness: (Cbf making threads)
n Agito for PS Vita.
Note: Tetsuya Nomura stepping down as FFXV director to focus on KH3.
Jesus christ.
Dat car though
Doesn't really matter that he's stepping down as director since the game is near completion anyway, they have all the direction they need.
That game looks visually amazing, but it looks to have a similar battle system as XII. XII was unplayable. If it has a similar battle system, I hope they fixed the shit out of it.
Anyway, I caught my manager in a lie today. She told me something that I felt wasn't true, so I went over her head and contacted my boss, and she confirmed that my manager blatantly lied to me. So justice was served today, and that makes me happy.
Hearing from my old friend even if its just in text messages, and thinking of someone I care about.

<3Australia Not surprised also I live relatively close to where this is filmed.
pfft. women elect to be opressed and you call yourselves feminists. Im reffering to both alpha and crescent. I love how religion must and always should be exempt from all critisism.
A husband has sex with his wife, as a plow goes into a field.
The Quran in Sura (Chapter) 2:223 says:
Your women are your fields, so go into your fields whichever way you like . . . . (MAS Abdel Haleem, The Qur’an, Oxford UP, 2004)
Husbands are a degree above their wives.
The Quran in Sura 2:228 says:
. . . Wives have the same rights as the husbands have on them in accordance with the generally known principles. Of course, men are a degree above them in status . . . (Sayyid Abul A’La Maududi, The Meaning of the Qur’an, vol. 1, p. 165)
A male gets a double share of the inheritance over that of a female.
The Quran in Sura 4:11 says:
The share of the male shall be twice that of a female . . . . (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 311)
A woman’s testimony counts half of a man’s testimony.
The Quran in Sura 2:282 says:
And let two men from among you bear witness to all such documents [contracts of loans without interest]. But if two men be not available, there should be one man and two women to bear witness so that if one of the women forgets (anything), the other may remind her. (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 205).
A wife may remarry her ex—husband if and only if she marries another man and then this second man divorces her.
The Quran in Sura 2:230 says:
And if the husband divorces his wife (for the third time), she shall not remain his lawful wife after this (absolute) divorce, unless she marries another husband and the second husband divorces her. [In that case] there is no harm if they [the first couple] remarry . . . . (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 165)
Slave—girls are sexual property for their male owners.
The Quran in Sura 4:24 says:
And forbidden to you are wedded wives of other people except those who have fallen in your hands [as prisoners of war] . . . (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 319).
A man may be polygamous with up to four wives.
The Quran in Sura 4:3 says:
And if you be apprehensive that you will not be able to do justice to the orphans, you may marry two or three or four women whom you choose. But if you apprehend that you might not be able to do justice to them, then marry only one wife, or marry those who have fallen in your possession. (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 305)
A husband may simply get rid of one of his undesirable wives.
The Quran in Sura 4:129 says:
It is not within your power to be perfectly equitable in your treatment with all your wives, even if you wish to be so; therefore, [in order to satisfy the dictates of Divine Law] do not lean towards one wife so as to leave the other in a state of suspense. (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 381)
Husbands may hit their wives even if the husbands merely fear highhandedness in their wives (quite apart from whether they actually are highhanded).
The Quran in Sura 4:34 says:
4:34 . . . If you fear highhandedness from your wives, remind them [of the teaching of God], then ignore them when you go to bed, then hit them. If they obey you, you have no right to act against them. God is most high and great. (Haleem, emphasis added)
Mature men are allowed to marry prepubescent girls.
The Quran in Sura 65:1, 4 says:
65:1 O Prophet, when you [and the believers] divorce women, divorce them for their prescribed waiting—period and count the waiting—period accurately . . . 4 And if you are in doubt about those of your women who have despaired of menstruation, (you should know that) their waiting period is three months, and the same applies to those who have not menstruated as yet. As for pregnant women, their period ends when they have delivered their burden. (Maududi, vol. 5, pp. 599 and 617, emphasis added)
What would make ME happy , is if someone finally got past the social justice bullshit and acknolwedged this for what it really is. Especially the feminists of TFF, because this is where the real issue is.

I know, its pretty shocking isn't it? I mean, once you have a direct source to information about something people hold so dear, only to realise how evil it is, right? How can you possibly defend this. I didnt write that, so like, dont get mad at me, yeah? =S

Rowan. I found the video beautiful n uplifting bc almost everyone that knew what was going on stepped in to stop what was happening.
I completely agree. Its not fair, too right you are. Noone ought be treated that way. What im reffering to is that the religion itself ought not be exempt from the critisism it so rightly deserves for the afformentioned passages which are only a few excerpts of how little women are viewed in that culture/religion.
I know I've bagged feminism in the past, but here is a cause for where it is sorely needed. The problem is people are too afraid to comment on anything religious out of fear of ridicule or social taboo. If I need to be that voice of unpopular opinion id gladly do it, even if in the name of feminism.

Please refer:
TL ; DListen: Don't lump 1 billion+ people into your imagined bogey man.
My opinion on that issue: I like to wear underwear to keep my dangly bits less dangly. Particular Muslim women like to wear particular items of clothing. Provided everyone is free to choose their religion or lack thereof, no one is being opressed by wearing a particular piece of clothing.
My opinion on that video: Beautiful. Imagine if instead of Australia in 2014 and Muslims, it was 1930s Germany and Jews. I'm glad that we as a species have come far enough to respect difference so openly.
Also: Rowan, before you go cherry-picking verses from the Quran, I hope you also understand what the Hadith are, the general process of Islamic scholarship, etc. Fact: culture is far more of a determinant of the treatment of women than is Islam in Muslim-majority countries. Turkey has had multiple female heads of state, for example. Lumping together women from Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia is absurd.
